# of VGs

strings /etc/lvmtab | grep "^/dev" | /grep -v "/dev/dsk"| wc -l

# usage

for vg in `strings /etc/lvmtab | grep -v "/dev/dsk"`
do
pesize=`vgdisplay $vg | grep "^PE Size"|awk {'print $4'}
usedpe=`vgdisplay $vg | grep "^Alloc PE"|awk {'print $3'}
(( usedmb=${usedpe}*${pezise} ))
freepe=``vgdisplay $vg | grep "^Free PE"|awk {'print $3'}
(( freemb=${freepe}*${pezise} ))

echo "${vg} has ${usedmb} MBs used and ${freemb} MBs free space"
done

hope it helps

Hi Admins,
Actually i have a script but it throws error while executing..

#This pgm will display Total, Used and Free size(in MB) of all vgs in a system

system("vgdisplay |grep -e 'Name' -e 'Total PE' -e'Alloc' -e'Free'|cut -b 29- >/tmp/bdf.out");
print("Name\t Total MB\tUsed MB\tAvailable MB\n");

open (BDF,"/tmp/bdf.out");
$line=;
chop $line;
while ($line ne "")
{
if ($line =~/vg/){
$count=1;
}
while($count < 5){
if($count > 1){
$line=$line*$pe_size;
}
else {
&get_pe_size;
}
print("$line \t");
$line=;
chop $line;
++$count;
}
print("\n");
}

sub get_pe_size {
$vgname="vgdisplay $line";
open (WOUT,"$vgname |grep Mbyte|cut -b 28-30|");
$pe_size=;
chop $pe_size;
}

eror is - free[3]: Syntax error at line 3 : `(' is not expected.
Plz let me know what causes this error..

Hi Himacs:

> Actually i have a script but it throws error while executing..

Then _SAY_SO_.

Aside from your script being terribly un-Perlish it _IS_ a perl script and thus needs to be indentified as such.

Every good script needs to declare the interpreter it wants to use in a "she-bang" line. Failure to do so means that a shell is assumed.

Add this as the first line of your script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

...or if that fails:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

Hi JRF,

Thanx for the guidance..its worked
i added #!/usr/bin/perl as interpreter.

The same script i got from itrc after posting this thread..

anyway thanx once again..

Hi Mel ,
I executed the script suggested by u,but some errors..
./freetest[11]: /dev/vg00: Execute permission denied.
./freetest[12]: usedmb=* : Syntax error

anyhow i found ineterest ininformation in scripting with ur help.. thanx

my script was untested and as expected from any caffeine-less morning, was riddled with typographic errors.

here is a working copy:

for vg in `strings /etc/lvmtab | grep -v "^/dev/dsk" | grep "^/dev"`
do
pesize=`vgdisplay $vg | grep "^PE Size"|awk {'print $4'}`
usedpe=`vgdisplay $vg | grep "^Alloc PE"|awk {'print $3'}`
usedmb=`echo "${usedpe}*${pesize}" | bc`
freepe=`vgdisplay $vg | grep "^Free PE"|awk {'print $3'}`
freemb=`echo "${freepe}*${pesize}" | bc`

echo "${vg} has ${usedmb} MBs used and ${freemb} MBs free space"
done

Hi JRF,

One more thing..

I want to display total PVs present in VG also..

how can we edit the same script to achieve thhat..

Hi Plz tell me why ~ and ^ used in script..

Re: disk usage script

pvcount=`vgdisplay -v $vg| grep "PV Name" | grep -v "Alternate Link" | wc -l`

in my script you can put this line before the echo statement and on the echo line, incorporate the pvcount into printable variables as you desire.

with my limited perl knowledge, ~ is used to suppress blan lines in the output. I can not see any ^ (carat) characters in the perl script but in regular expressions, ^ means the beginning of the line.

Hi Mel,

Thanx for the info..

If i want to direct the output where should i add >/tmp/disk.out

I tried with adding in the end of echo line but ended up with directing ony VG00 info..

regards

if you want to redirect at the end of echo, you need to use >> as this one will get executed as many times as the number of vg's you have.

to use > (single redirect) do it after the word "done", for example:

...
echo "blah-blah..."
done > /tmp/myreport.txt

Hi (again) Himacs:

> One more thing..I want to display total PVs present in VG also.

One way is to add this section of Perl code to the end of what you have:

my ( $fh, $vgname, $nbrpvs );
open( my $fh, '-|', '/sbin/vgdisplay' ) or die $!;
while (<$fh>) {
$vgname = $1 if m{^VG Name\s+(.+)};
$nbrpvs = $1 if m{^Act PV\s+(.+)};
if ( defined $vgname and defined $nbrpvs ) {
printf "%-12s = %02d PVs\n", $vgname, $nbrpvs;
undef $vgname;
}
}

I would rewrite the whole script in this fashion...using an piped open() to read the output of 'vgdisplay'. The caret (^) means match at the beginning of a line. The '\s+' means one or more whitespaces (tabs, spaces, etc.). The '.+' means one or more of any character and by enclosing it in parentheses we capture whatever is seen in the '$1' variable.

As you can see, the whole script could be re-factored into a loop driven by the above.

Regards!

Hello,

If you're familiar with perl, there's an HPUX::LVM perl module on CPAN that automatically parses vgdisplay/lvdisplay/pvdisplay into a perl hash. Once you get the data into a hash table, generating custom LVM reports should be trivial.

Caveats: I saw the module a while back but haven't actually tried it. Also, it appears to be based on LVMv1, so may cause problems on 11i v3.

Take a look at http://search.cpan.org/~cwhite/HPUX-LVM_0.06/LVM.pm. There's a complete sample script at the top of the page.

Other related CPAN modules include:
HPUX::Ioscan.pm
HPUX::FS.pm
HPUX::LVM.pm

If you have 11i v3 vith the latest version of LVM, there's a new option on vgdisplay that displays VG information in a format that's easier to parse with perl/awk/etc:

vgdisplay -F
